The rigid pipe is supported by a pin at A and an A-36 steel guy wire BD. If the wire has a diameter of 0.25 in., determine how much it stretches when a load of P = 600 lb acts on the pipe.

The rigid beam is supported by a pin at A and wires BD and CE. If the load P on the beam causes the end C to be displaced 10 mm downward, determine the normal strain developed in wires CE and BD.
The load is supported by the four 304 stainless steel wires that are connected to the rigid members' AB and DC. Determine the vertical displacement of the 500-lb load if the members were originally horizontal when the load was applied. Each wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.025 in^2.
A large tower is to be supported by a series of steel wires; it is estimated that the load on each wire will be 1.35x10^4 N. Determine the minimum wire diameter (in mm) to avoid yield. Assume a factor of safety of 2 and a yield strength of 860 MPa for the steel.
